Creativity in wood... I'm bowled over!

Today I wanted to show off my husband's creativity.

He takes blocks of wood - and turns them into something beautiful.

Here are two bowls he made.

They are both spalted beech. This means there is a fungus which has attacked the wood. Oh but when it's turned on a lathe - the beauty of those lines!

Bowl One








and here is Bowl two:







Aren't they something?
I'm in awe of his skill in creating beautiful art in wood.

  1. Wow!...these are beautiful. Is your husband a member of the Professional Woodturners, if not, he should be :-)

    1. Thanks, Ann. Not a member of Pro Woodturners, because it's not his full time job. He'd still be classed as amateur. But thank you for thinking his work is so good he'd qualify.

  2. I love woodcrafts like that! Does he have an Etsy shop or anything on line? Those are gorgeous!

    1. Thanks, Katherine. No, he doesn't have an Etsy shop or an online presence - you only see his work if I post it! Maybe one day...
